Family Traditions
What are your family traditions? The following information comes from several readers:
JARED:We take turns to pick a movie to watch together. It's fun because I watch something my parents like, and they watch something I like. My mother likes old black and white movies, so I see a lot of them! We also make a pizza and eat it in front of the TV.
WINNIE:My favourite meal is spaghetti and meatballs. My mum usually cooks, but my dad and sister help. On my sister's birthday, we eat a pizza. On my mum's birthday, we have chicken, and on my dad's birthday we have steak. Of course, we always have a birthday cake, too.
DANNY:My family is really busy. We have a large family, and it's not easy for everyone to get together at the same time. On that day, we go to a nice restaurant and we talk and talk and talk.
SUZIE:After dinner, we go to the living room and play a board game, such as Scrabble or Monopoly. We have about seven different ones to play, but we only play one game a night. I plan to keep this tradition after I start my own family.
ROB:I get up early and make something special, such as a mushroom omelet with fruit salad. Then I put it on a tray with a newspaper and a flower, and bring it to my mother for breakfast in bed. She always acts in surprise, though I do it every year.
